Cubs fans will forever associate "Back to the Future Part II" with the 1989 movie's hologram breaking news that the Cubs won the 2015 World Series. But that isn't Michael Lantieri's only on-screen homage to the Cubs.

The Oscar-winning special effects man who detonated the Bartman ball in 2004 said he has planted more than a few Cubs Easter eggs in his movies, an extensive list of blockbusters that includes the "Jurassic Park" movies, "Superman Returns," "Ride Along," "Hulk" and "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest." His TV projects include HBO's "Westworld."

"Here's the guarantee, if you look up my IMDB and you watch every one of those movies, I'll bet you can find a Cubs hat or a Cubs jersey," he said.

So there you go, Cubs fan, a potential weekend project. But Lantieri won't give any clues about which scenes have hidden Cubs gems because he said the practice is frowned on and he can get in trouble.

"Someday when I retire I'm going to tell everybody where they are," he said.

The lifelong Cubs fans did share some other insights.

On how the 2015 World Series prediction from "Back to the Future Part II" is still accurate despite the real-life championship happening in 2016: "When they carbon date something, they get a percentage of plus-minus within a window of time, and I think we're in that window of time, to be honest with you. ... So there's (an) argument that could be made by either Donald Trump or a great attorney that we're right on the money."

On the trilogy's writers: "I still do stay regularly attached to both Bob Gale and Bob Zemeckis. ... Truthfully one of the biggest joys of their lives is coming up with those predictions. They still joke about them."

On whether there should be a Cubs movie: "Oh, I can only hope, oh my gosh. ... I'd like to make it into a science-fiction (movie) where they start doubting that they won and they start looking for 'Westworld' artificial intelligence hosts who can play instead of real people."

On whom he would cast: "Bill Murray would have to be Harry Caray. ... (For Kris Bryant) James Marsden? He's a really nice guy, he would be great. ... (Joe) Maddon should be ... Bill Murray. Bill Murray could've been him if Bill Murray wasn't so crazy. You know Maddon's pretty contained."
